"Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow."
- Isaiah 1:17
Another very important piece of education in Ghana is school uniforms. Students cannot attend classes without school uniforms, which can be pricy, no matter how worn and used they are. The lack of financing causes many young and bright children to stay home instead of getting educated in school. An NGO closely related to Kingdom Care International saw this problem and addressed it, purchasing 20 uniforms for girls and 20 uniforms for boys, allowing 40 more children to attend school. Education is directly related to success of a country's economy.
